| On 14 November 2010, approximately at 21:00, an officer of the Road Safety Service of the Directorate of State Road Traffic Safety Inspection of Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Checehn Republic, Senior Lieutenant of Militia Gelani Aliev was killed near the bus stop “Transmash” in the Staropromyslovsky District of the city of Grozny. According to the information of Memorial Human Rights Center, G.Aliev attempted to check up the documents of a driver who seemed to be drunk to him. The driver and his passenger turned out to be officers of power structures and got indignant about the fact of the document inspection. They phoned their acquaintance, Aslan Magomadov, a former serviceman of the battalion “Zapad” [West] of the special troops of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Stuff. He was known under the call sign of “Tyson”. A.Magomadov arrived there. In the course of the further quarrel, A.Magomadov killed G.Aliev shooting him through the back.
The crime received a wide public response. A.Magomadov who escaped from the scene of the crime был объявлен в розыск was put on a wanted list; and even President of the Chechen Republic expressed his opinion regarding the incident. In particular, R.Kadyrov assured that the murderers would be punished, and he showed his extreme discontent at the fact that the officers of State Road Traffic Safety Inspection had behaved unworthily and had no detained the criminals. It may be assumed that one of the reasons, which provoked such a keen suseptibility of R.Kadyrov, was caused by the fact of A.Magomadov’s probable station: being a former serviceman of the battalion “Zapad” he could continue his service in the Special Company of the 18-th Separate Guards Motorised Brigade (until recently it has been the 42-nd Guards Motorised Division) deployed at a base of Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation in Khankala. The Special Company was established after the battalion “Zapad” was reduced in the autumn of 2008 (the same thing also occurred to the other Chechen battalion of Ministry of Defence, namely “Vostok” [East]). Earlier, Head of the Republic already repeatedly showed his discontent about the unlawful actions of officers of the power structures deployed at the military base in Khankala, namely about the fact that they did not report to him, ignore the requirements of officers of State Road Traffic Safety Inspection. President of the Chechen Republic insists that their certificates should be taken away from them, which they show off everywhere, and declared that it was not clear to him in general who these people were and from where they hailed. It is necessary to notice that on 9 January 2011 they attempted on the life of Bislan Yelimkhanov, the latest Commander of the battalion “Zapad” and the now Commander of the Special Company, directly at a checkpoint of the military base in Khankala, as a result of which he was badly wounded and one of the military men accompanying him perished. Bislan Yelimkhanov was a participant of the two Chechen war campaigns and he fought in the ranks of federal servicemen. He had a lot of enemies both among insurgents and among Chechen militiamen with whom the military men of “Zapad” had some armed conflicts (“Kommersant”, 12.01.2011). Another grave crime that was also committed, presumably, by officers of law enforcement structures did not caused any response on the part of the authorities, and the criminals, to all appearance, enjoy a complete impunity. On the night of 9 November, a certain Islam Isayevich Chagaev, born in 1980, was shot by some unknown persons in the Zavodskoy of the city of Grozny. According to the relatives of the killed person, in the beginning of November Islam arrived to Grozny from Omsk to visit his relatives. They learnt about the circumstances of Islam’s murder of from some eyewitnesses of the crime. On 8 November, at around 23:00, I.Chagaev gave his friends a lift as far as the restaurant “Zamok” [castle] in Industrialnaya Street. I.Chagaev lingered near the restaurant, talking to his two friends. At that time, some armed man approached them and asked, if they were “the barygi” [dealers in stolen goods] or not. A controversy arose between the man and I.Chagaev, which which turned into a fight. The unknown person shot several times at the ground beneath I.Chagaev’s feet and called someone for help by the phone. Soon not less than five armed people approached to the place of the incident in an “Infiniti” jeep. The friends of Islam disappeared from the scene, and he remained alone. The armed people tried to shove I.Chagaev into the boot but they did not manage to do so, then they shot him twice through the head. The attackers brought the mortally wounded Islam to the Nineth Municipal Hospital and left him there. The doctors were forbidden to record this case. Islam was operated on for an hour and a half, but they did not manage to save him. In the afternoon, on 9 November, some people drove up to speak to the relatives of I.Chagaev. They introduced themselves as officers of Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Zavodskoy District of Grozny (they did not show any documents). Some officers of Public Prosecutor’s Office photographed the body of the killed person and left. An employee Memorial Human Rights Center telephoned Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Zavodskoy District Factory and asked a question about the murder of I.Chagaev. In Public Prosecutor’s Office they informed him that a criminal case had been initiated and was in the procedure under No.21056. As of 29 November, they did not manage to establish the persons involved in the murder of I.Chagaeva. Obviously, no investigatory actions were carried out (or else they were conducted very slowly). Anyway, the medical staff was not interrogated, and nobody became interested in the data of the video observation cameras. Moreover, some video observation cameras were installed in the hospital. Some employees of the Memorial” visited the hospital, but the staff did not tell about the circumstances of the hospitalisation of I.Chagaev. They managed to find out some facts about the nurses who were on duty that night. The medical attendants were intimidated and did not wish to speak. They only reported that I.Chagaev was brought to them past midnight. The people who delivered him behaved very rudely, they threatened and strictly prohibited to record the information about the wounded man no matter where. And he was marked as “an unknown person” in all the documents. According to the nurses, it also leaked out that some chiefs from a medical medical unit affiliated to the Out-Patient Hospital of Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived at Hospital No.9 that night, and some people, presumably officers of power structures, dressed in military and civilian clothes, stood near the entrance of the hospital. As was explained by the acquaintances of the Chagaevs, the instigator of the quarrel with Islam was an inhabitant of the village of Sernovodsk of the Sunzhensky District, the Chechen Republic, and the person who came later and who probably shot at I.Chagaev was an inhabitant of the village of Tsentoroi of the Gudermessky Region of the Chechen Republic. It remains unknown why such a grievous murder was disregarded by mass media. No dignitary ever made an announcement in this connection.
On the one hand, by applying some drastic measures and counteraction in 2010 toward the most repulsive representatives of the underground (Said Buryatsky and Magas) they managed to appreciably stop the activity of extremist groups. Presently, attacks on officers of power departments and authorities on the Republic’s territory became isolated. We may remind that in recent years Ingushetia, with its small territory, continuously took the first place regarding the number of losses which were suffered by Russian national security agents on the territory of the North Caucasus. At a Meeting of Y-B.Yevkurov with Prime Minister of the country V.Putin on 16 September 2010, the latter noted “a small decrease in the crime rate” (“Kommersant”, 17.09.2010). Y-B.EYevkurov himself considers that “the number of crimes of terrorist nature, of enormous and especially grievous crimes” has substantially decreased. And he is, perhaps, nearer the truth. But it is yet premature to speak about a complete defeat of the underground on the territory of Ingushetia. This was demonstrated by a massive terrorist act in Vladikavkaz, all the traces of which lead to Ingushetia. But on the whole, the situation became rather quiet in this Republic for the past months. It gives some hope that President Y-B.Evkurov has chosen a correct political course directed not only towards rigid resistance to insurgents, but also at achieving civil peace through an open dialogue of the authority with the civil society. Nevertheless, the number of critics and even opponents of President of the Republic of Ingushetia is growing. And it would be absolutely incorrect to consider all of them as bureaucratic-corruptional opponents of the course of Y-B.Yevkurov. The two-year anniversary of his administation became the ultimate informational motive of criticising President of the Republic of Ingushetia. Certainly, the political opponents of President do not find any positive things: “infrastructural disorder, corruption, regionalism, infringements of human rights, connivance with respect to the neighbours from Ossetia, resulting in a detriment of Ingush interests”. And really, a very difficult situation has arisen in socio-economic and socio-political spheres. The Republic takes the second place after the Chechen Republic in the North Caucasian Federal District its rate of unemployment (the registered jobless rate makes 23 % of the able-bodied population, whereas the real unemployment rate calculated using the criteria of the International Labour Organisation makes 54 %). As contrasted to the general growth level of industrial production in the country equal to 9.6 %, a recession has been recorded both in industry and agriculture of Ingushetia (“Kommersant”, 17.09.2010). These are inveterate problems connected with the objectively adverse conditions of economic activity in the Republic, the backwardness of the infrastructure, the personnel shortage and the extraordinary activity of the extremist underground all past years. The condition of the educational sphere is catastrophic. In the Republic, there is a shortage of 20 thousand places for pupils, 50 % of schools work in three shifts, and the availability of infant schools makes only 10 % of what is required (RIA [Russian Information Agency] News, 29.09.2010). The investment climate in the Republic is extremely unfavourable. President of the Republic of Ingushetia understands that the investor now “must be dragged there … And not because that it is unsafe there but because that there there is no such field of activity which exists in other regions and in other places” (Russian Information Agency “Novosti News Agency”, 18.09.2010). Presently, Y-B.Yevkurov can only offer the investor what is termed as “a big phychic income”: “even if he does not obtain any benefit in terms of the material, he will receive it in terms of the spiritual” because in doing so he will deposit money in the stabilisation of the restless region” (Russian Information Agency “Novosti News Agency”, 19.09.2010). Yet one of the acutest problems of the public life of the Republic remains the issue of the Ossetian-Ingush reconcilation. The first President of Ingushetia Ruslan Aushev who headed the Republic after the six-day armed Ingush-Ossetian conflict was resolutely trying to return Ingush refugees the places of their permanent residence in North Ossetia and supported the requirement of “the territorial vindication”, i.e. the transfer of the Prigorodny District to Ingushetia. It was under him that the process of the refugees’ returning there began. Murat Zyazikov who took up an extremely cautious attitutude towards this sensitive issue; the problem assumed a latent character under him, although the returning of the refugees proceeded with a mixed success. Currently, the most part of the families which were compelled to flee from the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia in 1992, managed to come back, though many settlements of this Republic yet remain “closed” for the return of Ingushes, who previously lived there on lawful grounds. Y-B.Yevkurov resolutely cut the Gordian knot of the territorial dispute in a military style. A municipal reform carried in the autumn of 2009 froze the existing administrative-territorial delimitation with North Ossetia and rendered any further territorial lawsuits with the neighbours impossible. This step alienated a considerable quantity of nationalist-minded inhabitants of Ingushetia from him. In 2010, Y-B.Yevkurov continued his policy aimed at a rapprochement between Ingushetia and Ossetia, which extremely irritated many people. The visit of Y-B.Yevkurov to Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) in September, where he took part in the celebrations devoted to the occasion of the 20-th anniversary of the declaration of South Ossetia’s state independence, became the last of such demonstrative acts. As a result, even his Adviser Aslan Kodzoev leveled his criticism against President of the Republic of Ingushetia, after which the former was immediately dismissed (“Kavkazsky Uzel”, 25.09.2010). In the historical memory of the Ingushes, the inhabitants of South Ossetia are firmly associated with the events of 1992 when they took an active part in the Osetian-Ingush conflict. Now a pool popular enough Internet resources has formed in Ingushetia, which bitterly criticise any action of Y-B.Yevkurov, namely Angusht.com, Ingushetiaru.org, Ingnews.ru, Ri-online.ru, etc. Some of the initiatives of President of the Republic of Ingushetia, which failed to be implemented are in many cases misinterpreted by the inhabitants of the Republic. Thus, against the background of the conditions when the creation of jobs in Ingushetia is hampered due to objective reasons, last year a plan was initiated to direct the Republic’s manpower into the channel of doing the seasonal work traditional for the mountain regions, namely to form some working teams for their transfer to the sparsely populated Russian regions of the North and the Ural Mountains, which require working hands. Resettling whole families to some permanent place of residence was also considered. Both in the tsarist time and in the Soviet period, such practice was widespread, but basically it was, to tell the truth, a matter of people’s initiative. And this time, the idea of resettling Ingushes to the Sverdlovsk District failed: an agreement between the regions was reached at the top-level; a decision to pay traveling expenses at a rate of 59 thousand roubles per family was taken; however the immigrants found some ramshackle houses of abandoned residential settlements in the places of destination (“Kommersant”, 17.09.2010). This initiative yielded nothing but a negative effect: at once some comparisons with the Stalin deportations in the Ingush mass-media.
A return to the idea of “an alternative parliament” was designed to show that the policy of Y-B.Yevkurov was no different from that of M.Zyazikov. But while the authorities previously turned their deaf ear to this, now the initiators of convening “an alternative parliament’ immediately received an offer to carry on a dialogue with the officials. However, according to the information of Kaloy Akhilgov, Press Secretary of President of the Republic of Ingushetia, this time the representatives of the public do not wish to get into contact with the authorities. They consider the process of the investigation of several sounding cases as a certain indicator of the efficiency of Ingush President’s activity in the Republic. For example, investigating the murder of one of the Ingush opposition’s leaders, Maksharip Aushev, on 25 October 2009 is factually sabotaged, as his relatives believe, by the investigatory team: they are not summoned to be interrogated and not inform about the process of the investigation. A parallel investigation is being conducted by the family of the Aushevs. In September 2010, father of the perished person, Magomed-Khadzhi Aushev declared that knew the names of the murderers, as well as some details of the crime. It is worthy of note that soon after that the former team of inspectors working on the given case was taken off the job, and a new brigade was formed for verifying the words of M-Kh. Aushev (“Kavkazsky Uzel”, 21.24.2010; 24.9.2010). The Administration of the Republic of Ingushetia demonstrates, in every possible way, its openness to a society and its readiness for carrying on a dialogue. Soon after the meeting of Y-B.Yevkurov with M-Kh.Aushev on 28 September, K.Akhilgov declared that since then any appeal of an inhabitant of Ingushetia, “even if was not directly sent to President and simply appeared on the Internet” would be checked without fail. Also, K.Akhilgov assured the inhabitants of the Republic that President of Ingush Republic “personally looks through applications, replies to them and gives orders regarding what measures it is necessary to take with regard to appealsof citizens”. According to K.Akhilgov, one may apply to President not only in person but also using a direct hot line (its number was published), a blog and, finally, through some local and central mass-media (“Kavkazsky Uzel” 28.09.2010). Just few people among heads of Russian regions can be compared to President the Republic of Ingushetia from the viewpoint of the degree of accessibility and availability of feedback with the population. Y-B.Yevkurov does not stop his dialogue with the relatives of insurgents either. In every way, he encourages parents who persuade their children to come out of “the woods”. He promised the parents of former insurgents who are serving terms of imprisonment to help get to the places of confinement of their sons (Ingushetija.Org, 13.10.2010). As is evident from the foregoing, Y-B.Yevkurov continues to make advances to the civil society in Ingushetia; however not all of his initiatives meet with support from the public. The way of resolving the Ossetian-Ingush issue, chosen by him, alienated many Ingushs from him. And this problem is not a single one. The abductions in Ingushetia do not cease Law enforcement officers’ committing abductions remains, as before, one of the primary factors which essentially deminish the confidence of Ingushetia’s inhabitants in the president of the Republic. The more so that ill-wishers try to link some of similar crimes with the name of President of the Chechen Republic. Y-B.Yevkurov has not been able to cope with the arbitrariness of national security agents for two years already, despite his sincere efforts. People are yet abducted, taken out beyond the bounds of the Republic, tortured and killed. As may be inferred from the facts described below, the abductions are yet of a massive nature. When relatives manage to draw the maximum attention of journalists and authorities to some or other specific case, it is possible to avoid such flagrant violations of human rights. For example, after the terrorist act in Vladikavkaz occurred, some persons who had some or other relations with a suicide bomber shortly before the terrorist act, were detained and got out of their relatives’ sight for a short period of time, but soon were found in Vladikavkaz. No unlawful methods of inquiry were applied to them. On 17 September, the procedural status of one of the persons arrested in the first days following the terrorist act, Sait-Ali Dobriev [sa’it], who sold his “Volga” car to the suicide bomber, was changed from a witness to a suspect; however, he was released later, and the investigators have no claims to him (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg/2010/09/m218442.htm; www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg /2010/09/m218452.htm, “Kavkazsky Uzel”, 20.9.2010; 23.9.2010). A rare occurence when they managed to trace the fate of an abducted person up to a judicial sentence may be displayed by the story of Rustam Dzeitov, which began and finished within some unusually short terms. On 7 September 2010, at around 4:00, some officers of an ascertained power structure abducted a certain Rustam Maksharipovich Dzeitov, born in 1982, in the village of Ekazhevo of the Nazranovsky District. The national security agents numbering upto 60 men, who spoke Russian, did not introduce themselves and showed no documents. Rustam Dzeitov was put in an armoured “Gazel” [gazelle] minibus with no registration numbers and took him away in an unknown direction. His relatives tried to establish his whereabouts but this was unsuccessful. They applied at all the law enforcement structures of the Republic, at the local Security Council and to President of Ingushetia Y-B.Yevkurov in person. Nobody could tell them intelligibly about the reasons for the detention and about the whereabouts of Rustam. President of the Republic of Ingushetia entrusted Acting Secretary of the Security Council Bekhan Atigov with a task of examining into this case. The latter assured the Dzeitovs that Rustam was all right and that he lived in a hotel. However, B.Atigov refused to specify where that hotel was, as well as the reason for the detention of R.Dzetov: in interests of the investigation (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg/2010/09/ m218454.htm). Later the relatives managed to know that R.Dzeitovwas kept in the isolation ward of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania in Vladikavkaz. According to Maksharip Dzeitov, father of Rustam Dzeitov, his son was beaten up for several days, and they forced him to criminate himself. Rustam admitted of storaging of two grenades, but he refused to acknowledge his involvement in the activity of illegal armed groups (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg/2010/10/m220057.htm). On 3 December 2010, a decision made by the Nazranovsky District Court of Ingushetia came into force, according to which Rustam Dzeitov was sentenced to two and a half years’ imprisonment in a standard regime penal colony. The Defendant was found guilty of committing crimes envisaged in Part 2 of Article 208 (involvement in the activity of an armed group); Part 2 of Article 222 (illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, transportation or carrying of weapons, of their basic parts, ammunition, explosives and balsting assemblies manufactured by a group of persons by previous concert) of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation. “In the process of the investigation, some irrefutable evidence was gathered, testifying to the active participation of the condemned person in ensuring the activity of an illegal armed group; in concealing and transporting members of bandit froups; in transporting and storing weapons, ammunition and military equipment for the needs of the bandit underground”, a Representative of the Directorate of Federal Security Service said. The criminal case with regard to R.Dzeitov was initiated by the Investigatory Branch of the Directorate of Federal Security Service on 27 September, following his detention, and was examined according to a special procedure after he admitted his fault and due to “his active cooperation with the investigators (Ingushetija.Org, 03.12.2010). On 7 October, two local residents, namely Ilez Dzeutovich Daurbekov, born in 1983, who lived in the Malgobeksky District, the village of Nizhniye Achaluki, 88 Shosseinaya Street; and Aliskhan Khasanovich Kuzikov, born in 1983, who lived in the Malgobeksky District, the village of Verkhniye Achaluki, 43 Dzerzhinsky Street. According to the relatives who refer to some witness evidence collected by them, the young men were detained at the post of State Road Traffic Safety Inspection and were carried away by some unknown people riding in cars with no registration numbers. The relatives began their own investigation of the disappearance. On 9 October, their statement was promulgated on the Internet, in which it was asserted, in particular, that I.Daurbekov was a father of two children, a guardian of his sick parents and a dedicated Sunni Moslem for whom the observance of norms of Islam and of Russian legislation was very important (Magas.ru, 09.10.2010).
The site “Angusht.com”, which is oppositional to the present authorities (many observers link it with the encirclement of the former President of the Republic of Ingushia M.Zyazikov), explains the abduction and murder of Ilez Daurbekov by the fact that he was actively opposing the construction of a weekend house colony around his native village of Nizhniye Achaluki. According to the site, I.Daurbekov took the lead of some initiative group that demanded that the building contract should be transfered to the inhabitants of the village, who suffered from unemployment. During the judicial examinations, it was allegedly found out that Akhmed Yevkurov, a blood brother of President of the Republic of Ingushetia was the contractor (Angusht.com, 08.10.2010). On 28 November, at around 13:00, some unknown persons abducted a local resident, Iles Magomedovich Agiev, in the central market of the city of Nazran, from the premises of an appliance shop. He was born in 1986 and lived in 14 Ortskhanov Street. According to Dzhamaleily Agiev, Iles’s brother, upto 10 armed people wearing masks and dressed in camouflage uniforms broke into the appliance shop which belonged to their family. They came in several armoured UAZ vehicles. The unknown persons kept their submachine guns aimed at them until Iles was taken away. The relatives do not know who took Iles away and where to. Right after the abduction, they applied to all the law enforcement structures of the Republic but the whereabouts of the abducted person failed to be established. On 18 November, ten days before the abduction of Iles Agiev, his brother Mikhail Agiev was killed by some officers of FSB. It occurred around 11:00 in the Barsukinsky Municipal District of the city of Nazran, in Dudurgov Street. According to the information of the Press Service of the Directorate of Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation in the Chechen Republic, the car in which M.Agiev and two more inhabitants of Nazran (Alik Tumgoev and Magomed (Gaki) Barakhoev) rode was fired on by some officers of a mobile post of Road Patrol Service (a special division of FSB) after the driver refused to stop the car when requested by the officers of Road Patrol Service. The car broke into flames. Three persons who were inside died. As per some official information, M.Agiev and his companions were in the ranks of a subversive and terrorist group connected with Yusup Dzangiev, the leader of “Karabukakhsky group”, detained earlier. On 30 November, in the evening, some people phoned the relatives of Iles Agiev from the Directorate of the Directorate of Federal Security Service by the Russian Federation in the Republic of Ingushetia and informed them that Iles was with them in the Directorate (in the city of Magas). He was suspected of his involvement in the activity of an illegal armed group. In order to prorect the interests of I.Agiev, his relatives invited Lawyer V.Kostoev (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1 /msg/2010/11 /m226227.htm). Some new cases of abductions and disappearance of people cause a revival of street-type forms of protest which were widespread under President Zyazikov. Thus, on 18 October the relatives of a certain Dzhamaleily Musayevich Gagiev, an inhabitant of the village of Ali-Yurt, born in 1967, who dissapeared on 14 October, blocked the Federal Route “Kavkaz” [Caucasus] with some trucks, around the so-called Magassky Circle. Approximately half an hour after the beginning of the spontaneous meeting, Chief of the District Internal Affairs of the city Nazran drove up to the place of the carrying-out of the action, and then Chairman of Government of the Republic of Ingushetia Alexey Vorobev, Minister of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia Victor Pogolov, Public Prosecutor of the Republic of Ingushetia Yury Turygin, Acting Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Ingushetia Bekhan Atigov arrived there. Chairman of Government of the Republic of Ingushetia and Public Prosecutor of the Republic of Ingushetia promised to make every effort for his search and asked the relatives to wait for the results of the work of law enforcement bodies. After the conversation with the representatives of the authority, the participants of the meeting dispersed. The meeting lasted about two hours. (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/ caucas1/msg/2010/10/m220500.htm). Nothing was known about the fate of D.Gagieva as of the end of December 2010. An investigatory case was initiated based on the fact of his disappearance. Detentions of alleged criminals are still sometimes accompanied by pogroms [the Russian word ‘pogrom’ means a massacre] in people’s houses, robberies and insults of relatives. Thus, for example, while detaining a certain Zurab Idrisovich Tseloev on 29 October, some agents of national security did not produce any documents, they behaved rudely, offended and humiliated the tenants. They were breaking the furniture and damaged a car. They took the arrested person away in an unknown direction, without explaining the reasons for his detention (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints /caucas1/msg/2010/11/ m220991.htm).
And on 15 November, a meeting place of Y-B.Yevkurov with some relatives, whose relatives were on the wanted list, took place in the city of Magas in the building of the Administration of President of the Republic of Ingushetia. Among other cases, the incident with Zurab Tseloev was also discussed. The officials plucked up their courage to admit their error. As it was reported in an official message of the Press Service of President of the Republic of Ingushetia, “the main issue regarding the confusion arisen around the three young men, namely Zurab Tseloev, Iles Aushev and Akhmetkhan Aushev” was raised at the meeting. The information that the aforementioned persons were on the wanted list was transferred to some mobile posts of Road Patrol Service. Though, according to Isa Gireev, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia, there was necessity for doing so. The young men were really delivered several times to a militia station for listening to some prophylactic admonitions, but they were not involved in crimes. A commision was given by President of Ingushetia to make an investigation within the shortest time and to report on the results of the same” (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1 /msg/2010/11/m224189.htm, the site “Republic of Ingushetia”, 15.11.2010; Ingushetia.Org, 26.11.2010). In human rights organisations, they continue to receive information about applying torture, knocking out confessing evidence and hindering the work of lawyers. In this regard, it cannot be denied that the number of such cases has become noteworthy less than in the previous years.
According to the information of the employees of Memorial Human Rights Center in Nazran, a lawyer was admitted to Khashagulgov only in the beginning of December. The lawyer learnt from his defendant that the latter was beaten up and tortured during the investigation; and thus they forced him to sign confessing evidence in that he was related to the preparation of the terrorist act in the market of the city of Vladikavkaz. The information concerning cases of torture does not always find its acknowledgement. Thus, on 13 October, an inhabitant of the town of Malgobek, Khava Dahkilgova, who lives in 13 “B” Oskanov Street, Apt. No.6, lodged a written application with the human rights organisations of the Republic of Ingushetia. On 10 September 2010, some militia officers detained her grandson Dzhamaleila Timerhanovich Oziev, born in 1989, in the city of Yakutsk. On 29 September, D.Oziev was convoyed to Ingushetia where he was received in temporary holding facility under the Department of Internal Affairs of the Malgobeksky District. There his relatives were informed that the arrested person was suspected of an involvement in the activity of an illegal armed group. As Khava Dahkilgova asserted, no lawyer was admitted to defend Dzh.Oziev. The relatives of Dzh.Oziev declared that they were torturing Dzhamaleila, forcing him to criminate himself. In 2008, in the process of a special operation, carried out by law enforcement officers, Dzhamaleila’s brother, Movsar Oziev, was killed. He was suspected of an involvement in the activity of an illegal armed group (Ingushetia.Org, 18.10.2010, www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg/2008/05/m 135221.htm). Dzh.Oziev himself was once detained in the same year by agents of national security, however he was subsequently released. After that, his grandmother sent him to Yakutsk to his relatives. Some human rights organisations and of the Republic of Ingushetia began to verify messages that Dzhamaleila Oziev was cruelly treated. It was found out that the lawyers, to whom the relatives of an arrested person applied for a service, fulfilled their duties in bad faith. In order to check the information, Human Rights Commmissioner sent his Assistant to the Malgobeksky District Department of Internal Affairs. The latter met with Dzh.Oziev. No facts of torture were confirmed to be true. No markings of beating-up were visible on his body. There were no complaints regarding the conditions of his detention except for the fact that the officers of the District Department of Internal Affairs do not accept any parcels from relatives. In November, Human Rights Commmissioner visited Dzh.Oziev a second time. Besides, representatives of the Non-Governmental Human Rights Organisation “Amnesty International” were allowed to see the latter. He did not make any substantial complaints about the conditions of his detention. According to the officers of the Nazranovsky Office of Memorial Human Rights Center, by now Dzhamaleila Oziev has been convoyed to a pre-trial detention centre of Pyatigorsk.
During the autumn of 2010, abductions of inhabitants of Kabardino-Balkaria, Dagestan and Ingushetia in various regions of Russia assumed a regular nature. Not all cases of disapearance may be qualified as abductions. Memorial Human Rights Center does not exclude that some of vanished persons might have escaped of their own accord due to some criminal and other motives. However, in a number of cases, the information available with us permits us to declare in a responsible manner that cases of disappearance of people resemble abductions carried out by representatives of power structures. In their form, they are similar to abductions practised for a long time in the zone of confrontation in the North Caucasus. On 27 October 2010, at around 16:00, an inhabitant of Ingushetia, Umar Akhmetovich Dzaurov, born in 1987, disappeared in the city of Rostov-on-Don under some obscure circumstances. As it follows from the appeal of his uncle, Mamed-Bashir Dzaurov, Umar went to Rostov on 11 October 2010 in search of a job. He was invited by Musa Akhilgov, an acquaintance, who lives in this city. A few days after Umar’s arrival, some militia officers visited Musa’s apartment in order to register Umar. They copied his passport data, took his finger-prints and left. On 21 or 22 October, the militia officers came again and detained M-B.Dzaurov. They accused him of an infringement of the rules of the passport regulations and sentenced him to five days of arrest. For him to serve his sentence, Umar was placed in a special reception centre of the Republic of Ingushetia for administratively arrested persons under the Department of Internal Affairs of Rostov-on-Don. His friends who waited for him on 27 October at the gate of a special reception centre of the Republic of Ingushetia never saw him go out. The militia officers, in their turn, maintained that they had him let out (www.memo.ru/2010/10/ 29/2910104.htm, Ingushetia.Оrg, 29.10.2010). As of the end of December 2010, U.Dzaurov's fate was not known. On 28 October 2010, Lawyer Magomed Gagiev, who acted in the interests of an inhabitant of Ingushetia Khizir Musayevich Daurbekov, lodged a Written Application with the Representative Office of Memorial Human Rights Center in the city of Nazran. As it follows from the Application, in the morning of 27 October Khizir Daurbekov, who was going by bus from Nazran to Moscow, was detained by law enforcement officers at the stationary guard-post “Bobrovka” located at the entrance into the Voronezh Region. It failed to be established, officers of which power structures performed his detention. In his Application, the Lawyer reminded that according to the requirements of Part 1, Article 96, stated in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, an investigator/nspector shall notify someone of [a person’s] near relations [about his detention] not later than within 12 hours since the time of detaining a suspect, and in case they are absent he shall inform other relatives, or provide the suspect with a possibility of such notification (www.memo.ru/2010/10/29/ 2910104.htm,Ingushetia.Оrg,29.10.2010). On 3 November 2010, Lawyer M.Gagiev informed Memorial Human Rights Center that on 29 October some officers of law enforcement structures conducted a search in the house of the Darubekovs in Ingushetia (the village of Yandare, 80 Akhriev Street). They reported that Kh.Daurbekov had been detained and was kept in a temporary holding facility of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. He was suspected of having committed crimes envisaged in the Item “b” of Part 3, Article 205 (a terrorist act), Items “a” and “е” of Part 2, Article 105 (a murder), Part 1, article 222 (illegal storage of weapons) and Part 1, Article 223 (illegal manufacture of weapons) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (www.memo.ru/2010/10/29/2910104.htm; www.memo.ru/ hr/hotpoints/caucas1/msg/2010/11/m222910.htm). The Lawyer was not admitted to Daurbekov until the middle of November (www.memo.ru/hr/hotpoints /caucas1/msg/2010/11/m224188.htm). On 20 October, inhabitants of Ingushetia Mukhamed Aslambekovich Khutiev, born in 1973, and Magomed Khashagulgov disappeared under obscure circumstances at the exit from the city of Makhachkala. On 21 October, the wife of M.Khashagulgov, Louisa Medova, lodged a Written Application with Memorial Human Rights Center. M.Khutiev heads a branch of the self-regulatory organisation “Guild of Builders of the North Caucasian Federal District” in Ingushetia, and M.Khashagulgov works at this branch as a main specialist. On 20 October, M.Khutiev and M.Khashagulgov started out in a “Toyota-Korolla” car for the city of Makhachkala where the head office of their organisation is located. However, they did not return home (see: www.memo.ru/2010/10/25/2510102.htm). As of the end of November, they failed to establish the whereabous of M.Khutiev and M.Khashagulgov. President of the Republic of Ingushetia Y-B.Yevkurov met with the relatives of the vanished persons. However, the situation never cleared up. In the autumn, cases of disappearance of the North Caucasus' natives in Moscow where they come in search of a job or for medicaltreatment became frequent.
In the process of discussing the circumstances of the case, some additional details of the men’s disappearance leaked out. It was found out that on 24 September, in the afternoon, eight young men who were familiar with each other went to the mosque in Bolshaya Tatarskaya Street. Apart from the above-mentioned persons, there were citizens of Russia Aleksander Khaidov and Anzor Gasanov, and a citizen of Tajikistan Khasan Nakkash. All the three men went off in one car along with Dovar Asadov. A.Gasanov got out of the car near his house in Khovrino.15 minutes later he began calling his friends in order to learn how they reached their destinations; but their phones had been already disconnected. On 29 October, Anzor Gasanov was detained on suspicion of an armed assault; during his detention he was wounded and taken to hospital under militia escort. Now Anzor is in pre-trial detention centre No.4 of the city of Moscow. Directory: uploads -> files files -> M. Sc.
